The Importance of Being Busy

"I can't get a life when my heart is not in it"

-Oasis, The Importance of Being Idle

"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans"

-John Lennon

Today marks the first day of classes. The last leg of the final lap before graduation and before the bar exams.  Sometimes, people still ask me how I managed to juggle law school, work and getting a life.  I said I don't juggle, I just do.  The juggling is apparent after the fact, but while you're at it, it just happens.

A lot of people complain that they don't have time for anything.  Whether it is running, reading a good book, watching a movie, getting a postgraduate. The reason? They don't start. Doing something and trying to accomplish something is not really a plan, it's a conviction. A conviction to finish what you started, and proceed with what you already have, the rest will fall into place...eventually.

You can't get a life when you're Idle.
